SABM Sarawak & Sabah Roadshow

Thursday, August 9, 2012

[Comments below on the above Reuters report were made on Radio Plenty Valley FM 88.6 27/07/12]

The
news comment mentioned that Petronas has developed into a multi-billion
global enterprise. This is thanks to over 35 years of exploiting oil
belonging to the resource rich East Malaysian states of Sabah and
Sarawak on Northern Borneo Island.

The news comment also
mentioned that last year Petronas contributed to half of the national
budget being $60 billion. The rest must be pure profits in Petronas'
bank account.

Petronas was created when the Petroleum Development
Act was passed in 1974 seizing control of Sabah and Sarawak oilfields.
This was made possible when resistant Chief Ministers of Sabah and
Sarawak were removed by the Kuala Lumpur government and replaced with
chief ministers who willingly signed away their state oil rights to
Petronas control. This happened eleven years after the British colonial
government transferred control of Sabah and Sarawak to the Malayan
government under the Malaysia Plan in 1963.

Listeners can imagine
how important Sabah and Sarawak are as parts of Malaysia for their
giant contributions to the national wealth which largely goes across the
China sea to develop the West Malaysian States. They essentially prop
up the whole Malaysian economy.

However, despite their economic
importance, in the last 49 years of “independence in Malaysia”, these 2
sparsely populated states have remained the most underdeveloped and
under funded states.

In fact the rampant exploitation of the 2
states' resources has reduced Sabah to be the poorest state in Malaysia with
Sarawak coming second.

The “gleaming icons” the Petronas Twin
Towers in Kuala Lumpur are now being called the Sabah and Sarawak Towers
as they were built with Sabah and Sarawak oil money. So was Putra Jaya
the new administrative centre, other gleaming palaces and public
buildings and much of the infrastructures of West Malaysia that have all been
funded by Sabah and Sarawak money.

A recent news comment found
on the Internet described Malaysia as a “ponzi scheme”. The Kuala Lumpur
government takes 100% of Sabah and Sarawak oil revenues and taxes and
gives them back a miserly 5% royalty. This is especially shocking when
the two states originally owned the oil.

It is no wonder that the people in both states have come to see that they have been re-colonised in Malaysia.

A
Sarawakian Dr. John B Anthony who publishes an Internet blog page
called “Dayakbaru” in an article entitled: “Sarawak-may-leave-Malaysia-sooner-than-expected” said: (Quote)

"In
Sarawak, the spirit of anti-Malaya due to its colonizing approach is
rising. Sarawak today is being colonized in all aspects, education,
commerce, religion, politics, social structure and even government
through the BN party.”

Malaya took the wealth of Sarawak and gave
back “crumbs” as development funds. Malaya took all the important
Ministries, took all the important posts in the civil service...”

The
Sabah State Reform Party deputy leader Daniel Jambun wrote in his list
of 22 "failed" items by the Kuala Lumpur government (Quote):

"16.
Among the biggest source of our dissatisfaction is in how our natural
resources are being taken from us. Imagine if the oil royalty for Sabah
and Sarawak is reviewed to 70 percent backdated to 1976 and with 8 per
cent interest for arrears compounded yearly! That amount would be so
much it would take care of all of Sabah’s development needs for decades
to come”.

He said.”. This kind of oil royalty rate is nothing
fantastic because it is already practised by other countries such as
Timor Leste, South Sudan, Darfur, Acheh, and under the nationalist
movement in Scotland."

Both these writers have increasingly taken
a very strong stand on Sabah and Sarawak re-examining their positions
as States of Malaysia.
